Every day I find out about a new facet of its awesomeness. I still feel like I am barely getting to know Trello. And when a task is completed, I have the ever-so-satisfying ability to drop it into the Done list. If I put a card on my list for Today but for whatever reason, it doesn’t get completed, I can easily drag and drop it into one of the other lists. No more! On my Work Board in Trello, I have lists for Today, Tomorrow, This Week, This Month, and Done. No matter how hard I tried, a random item would fall through the cracks. I was having an issue where each day I was creating To-Do lists for work on paper but occasionally an uncompleted task written on one day wouldn’t make it onto the next day’s list. Trello has transformed how I plan my workflow. Come cooking time, all I need to do is open the Dinner Plan Card, click the link to the recipe card and in no time I have the recipe right in front of me. Then when I’m planning what I’m going to make this week, I can link my Dinner Plan card to the specific recipe card on my Meal Planning Board. In about two seconds, this note can be turned into a card on my Meal Planning Board. I can easily create a note in Evernote with the link to the recipe and store it in one of the notebooks that I have to store recipes. Notes, recipes, and pretty much anything else that I want to be able to reference later I push into Evernote (I have pretty strong feelings for Evernote as well, but they are probably best left for another blog).įor example, say I find a recipe online that I want to try. I personally like to use Evernote as my brain annex. In each card, you can add documents, links, pictures, and (my personal favorite) checklists.īut don’t get me wrong, there is a lot more to Trello than just a pretty face. On each of those boards, you create lists and under these lists, you can add cards. You can create as many boards as your heart desires. Trello is a productivity app that somewhat mimics a bulletin board. If you haven’t met Trello, please allow me to make the introduction. I fell kind of head over heels for Trello. I prefer to check out ebooks from the library via an app on my tablet and find new recipes on Pinterest. I don’t buy cookbooks or paperback novels. I use my phone and tablet for just about everything. They relish the sensation of holding their notebooks in their hands and using their colorful pens to design and decorate its pages. Many of my friends are still crushing on paper. We had a good run, but I think our time together is coming to a close. I can’t break up with paper completely but there’s definitely some distance. Paper and I have been drifting apart for some time. The thing is I’m really not that into paper anymore. And then I met Trello! How I broke up with paper So I started looking for digital solutions that would help me organize and track in a fun way. I wanted that! I wanted to feel the thrill of getting my life together and having it logged somewhere adorable. I envied everyone excitedly creating and organizing in their cute journals. I must admit I was jealous of the bullet journaling. How wonderful to have all your life organized in one easy-to-access place! It was inspiring! I’ve been on a bit of an organization kick lately, so it really resonated with me. Recently one of our team members wrote a fantastic blog about bullet journaling.
